Chapter 273: Chapter 265: Want to Give It a Try? (Part 1)
Mentioning Jin Jiancheng, Jin Jumo’s eyes dimmed slightly, and she pressed her lips tightly, remaining silent.
Rong Mochen’s cold face passed through a depth as he looked at her with dark eyes, "Little Mo, the one who conspired to frame and slander you was Tang Ruan. She joined forces with Ye Hui Bar’s manager, Yang Xingwei, and Fu Mulan to fabricate evidence of your impurity. Her original intention was to aggravate Ms. Fang’s dissatisfaction and dislike of you, but she didn’t expect Ms. Fang to take those so-called pieces of evidence to the hospital and find Grandpa, which worsened his condition, almost..."
Jin Jumo clenched her palm tightly, trying to lift the corners of her mouth, "I know all this, Gu Yan has already told me. Gu Yan also told me that the real culprit who killed my Grandpa was not actually Tang Ruan, but Fu Mulan."
Rong Mochen stared at her, "That’s true. Fu Mulan is indeed the mastermind who bribed Yicheng’s men to harm your Grandpa."
Jin Jumo took a deep breath, the spot in her heart going through four years, hearing these again still felt like being sliced into pieces by a sharp blade, "I’m so stupid. Back then, I only listened to Fu Mulan’s one-sided words and concluded that the murderer of my Grandpa was Tang Ruan. Moreover, I even thought that Fu Mulan wasn’t too bad, at least she had enough conscience to tell me the truth. Looking back now, I feel so ridiculous, I actually thought the murderer of my Grandpa had a conscience, huh."
"Fu Mulan has long been well-versed in the business world, rich in social experience, deeply scheming, even someone like Tang Ruan who is shrewd and self-satisfied with intelligence was calculated by her, let alone someone like you with no social experience." Rong Mochen looked at Jin Jumo with pity.
"You don’t need to comfort me. It was my stupidity that made me easily deceived, and I didn’t even bother to verify, just believed in her."
Jin Jumo still couldn’t forgive herself; she actually believed the words of a murderer!
Rong Mochen held Jin Jumo’s hand, rested his forehead on hers, "Now Gu Yan is already fully tracking down Fu Mulan’s information, I promise you, whether she hides to the edge of the sky or the underworld, I will drag her out and avenge Grandpa."
Jin Jumo nodded lightly, "I believe in you, and also in Gu Yan."
Rong Mochen tugged at his lips slightly and kissed the tip of Jin Jumo’s sharp nose.
Jin Jumo took a deep breath, quietly leaning against him.
The warm and silent atmosphere didn’t last long, but was completely broken by a sentence from Rong Mochen.
"Tang Ruan invited me to the hotel and spiked the red wine beforehand."
"..." Jin Jumo’s back shuddered violently, raising her head suddenly from his chest, her back straightened, looking at him in shock.
Rong Mochen looked at Jin Jumo’s trembling eyes due to tension, gently stroked her eye corner with long fingers, softly said, "Don’t worry, nothing happened."
Jin Jumo’s expression was still tense, her voice lightly trembling, "She, she drugged you?"
"Yes."
Rong Mochen squinted, "A drug with hallucinatory and aphrodisiac effects."
Jin Jumo’s heart throbbed wildly, "Then, then you..."
Rong Mochen looked deeply at Jin Jumo, "I looked at her and saw you, indeed couldn’t resist. But subconsciously, I knew I couldn’t have you right now, you’re pregnant, I can’t."
"..." Jin Jumo’s eyes suddenly reddened.
Rong Mochen gently observed her, "Later, I can’t even remember how long I stayed under the cold water in the bathroom trying to sober up. Because I was always investigating the cause of Grandpa’s death, that night I was with Yicheng, but he was waiting for me downstairs at the hotel.
Perhaps seeing I hadn’t gone downstairs for too long, he became suspicious and rushed up. By the time Yicheng burst into the room, my consciousness was already unclear. Later, he hastily took me to the hospital. Presumably, it was also then that my mobile phone was carelessly left behind."
Jin Jumo felt some pity for him, a hand involuntarily lightly stroked his face, eyes very red.
Rong Mochen seemed to enjoy Jin Jumo’s expression of pity, his thin lips slowly curled up, "Did my story touch you?"
Jin Jumo held tears, lightly tugged at the corners of her mouth, "Your self-restraint is your own quality, why should I be touched?"
Rong Mochen squinted, "Don’t you think I’m keeping myself pure for you?"
"As if except for me, there are no others," Jin Jumo said.
"Yes, only you." Rong Mochen replied immediately.
Jin Jumo, "..."
Rong Mochen looked at Jin Jumo’s suddenly stunned face, black eyes showing silk-like gentle softness, once again softly said, "Only you."
What is he saying...
Jin Jumo gasped in shock, trying to keep her voice calm, "You wouldn’t want to say, except for me, you haven’t been with other women..."
Saying this, Jin Jumo stopped in time, seemingly realizing that such words coming from her as a woman might not be appropriate.
Rong Mochen’s deep and stern face seemed to also blush slightly, he pursed his lips and seriously hummed.
Jin Jumo kept silent for a while.
Rong Mochen furrowed his brows, looked at Jin Jumo with some dissatisfaction, "You don’t believe me?"
"..." Jin Jumo bit her lips, muttered, "Skill so good, who’d believe there’s no one else?"
"What did you say?" Rong Mochen raised his eyebrows, staring at Jin Jumo.
Jin Jumo’s heart skipped a beat, her earlobes turned crimson, she lowered her head in embarrassment, "Nothing, I said nothing."
Rong Mochen’s eye corner twitched lightly, held her chin up, looked seriously at Jin Jumo with black eyes, "Say it."
Jin Jumo’s cheeks twitched, "I really didn’t say anything."
"You did, I heard it." Rong Mochen said.
"...Then why do you ask if you already heard it?" Jin Jumo muttered softly.
Rong Mochen stared at Jin Jumo’s flushed face, a laugh he had held back for a long time finally spilled sensually from his throat.
Jin Jumo was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into thin air.
Many of the knots in Jin Jumo’s heart seemed to unravel on this day.
The joy and pleasure surging through her limbs finally led to a determination in Jin Jumo’s mind.
So, when Gu Yan returned to the apartment with Xixi and Hanhan, they were greeted by the scene of Jin Jumo happily preparing dinner in the kitchen.
Hearing the door open, Jin Jumo turned with a smile, looking warmly at Gu Yan who walked in, "You’re back?"
Gu Yan was stunned, staring blankly at Jin Jumo.
Xixi and Hanhan were used to Jin Jumo’s gentle demeanor, so they didn’t find it strange.
The two little ones rushed to Jin Jumo’s side, standing one on the left and one on the right, stretching their necks to look at the dinner Jin Jumo was preparing.
Jin Jumo seemed not to notice Gu Yan’s unusual behavior and continued warmly, "I’ve prepared a lot of dishes tonight. Won’t you stay for dinner?"
Gu Yan was almost moved to tears.
This was the first time she had actively invited him to stay for dinner; it wasn’t easy!
Without thinking, Gu Yan nodded.
Jin Jumo smiled happily and turned around to continue preparing dinner.
Xixi and Hanhan watched for a while in the kitchen, estimating that it might still be a while before dinner, so they went out to the living room to watch cartoons on TV.
Gu Yan sneaked over to the kitchen, glancing at Jin Jumo every now and then. When he saw Jin Jumo completely unaware, he boldly stared at her.
What troubled Gu Yan was that, despite his efforts, Jin Jumo didn’t look at him even once, her delicate and gentle profile shining as if she had a halo, cough, cough, cough... a saint!
Driven by curiosity, Gu Yan licked his lips and couldn’t help but ask, "Little Mo Mo, did something good happen?"
Jin Jumo smiled and turned her head to look at Gu Yan, "No, why do you ask?"
Gu Yan focused on Jin Jumo’s face, her doll-like face flashed a moment of distraction, he blinked, not daring to continue looking, and turned his head stiffly, "You’re in a good mood today, huh."
Jin Jumo pursed her lips slightly, either not hearing or not wanting to answer.
Full of doubt, Gu Yan left the kitchen, looking back three times as he walked to the living room, casually picking up Xixi, who was diligently building blocks.
With his action, Xixi’s hand slipped, and the tower she had painstakingly built collapsed with a crash.
Xixi pouted, angrily turned her head to glare at Gu Yan, and said in her childish voice, "Uncle Gu, look what you did!"
Gu Yan quickly smiled apologetically, "It’s okay, it’s okay, later Uncle Gu will build one even taller for you, alright?"
"It’s not the same."
Xixi hummed, "When Uncle Gu builds with Xixi, it’s different."
Gu Yan was a bit confused, "So what should we do?"
Xixi’s big eyes blinked, as if she hadn’t thought of a better way, sighed, "Forget it."
"Xixi, haven’t you noticed your mommy is a bit different today?" Gu Yan asked.
Xixi glanced at Jin Jumo in the kitchen, then looked at Gu Yan blankly, "No."
Gu Yan, "..."
Could it be that he has masochistic tendencies, so when Little Mo Mo is nicer to him, he thinks there’s a problem...
The dinner was more sumptuous than ever. Xixi leaned on the table, rubbing her chubby hands with delight, exclaiming loudly.
Hanhan could not take his eyes off the table full of delicious food either.
"Little Mo Mo, you’re being too polite. You didn’t have to make so much food just to entertain me; I can’t eat it all, right?" Gu Yan said thick-skinned, looking at Jin Jumo.
Jin Jumo twitched her lips without responding.
Feeling highly valued, Gu Yan was extremely satisfied, taking out his phone to snap pictures of the table full of dishes, immediately posting them on social media with the caption, "Love-filled dinner, so touched..." ending with a tag to Jin Jumo.
When Jin Jumo heard her phone vibrate, she took it out to find Gu Yan had tagged her, her mouth twitching.
Jin Jumo glanced at Gu Yan, and seeing his satisfied face, she couldn’t bring herself to disappoint him and walked with her phone to the living room balcony.
Leaning on the balcony railing, Jin Jumo’s lips curved slightly as she dialed a certain number.
The call was quickly answered, and a man’s rich and sexy voice came through, "Little Mo."
"Where are you?" Jin Jumo asked softly, her earlobes slightly red.
After Jin Jumo asked, there was a sudden silence on the other end.
Jin Jumo’s eyes blinked lightly, looking up, "Is it inconvenient to say?"
"Don’t overthink. Grandpa asked me to come back to Rong Mansion, I’m on the road now," Rong Mochen said.
"Oh." Jin Jumo pursed her lips, "Are you staying at Rong Mansion tonight, or..."
"I’m coming back." Before Jin Jumo could finish, Rong Mochen replied.
Jin Jumo raised her lips gently, "Okay. Drive safely."
